where has the little preview window gone?

As the title says, where is it?

There is a box within a box in the top right corner of the node window. This will shrink the node window, or expand it. The preview window should re-appear.

wrong little window. in the past when I clicked on a node there was a little preview in the render preview box that showed what the node was doing - it seems to be gone. I can open a new preview window but as it won't stay open it's a pain to use.

[Henry Blewer]

Oh, you mean the smaller window to the left of the main preview window. Let me check something...

[mhaze]

that's the one

Try adding a power fractal to a new Terragen 2 project. Add it in the shaders group and then select it. It should appear.

[mhaze]

Ok that works but only with a new file.

[Henry Blewer]

I am going to play around with an older file. I'll get back in about 30 minutes.

[mhaze]

Sorry, works with old files but only when you click on the left hand list not when you click on a node. But it's usable.

[Henry Blewer]

I just discovered something. If you are in a different tab, other than the Terrain or Shader tabs, the preview disappears. (Buttons across the top of the program)

[mhaze]

That little preview is so useful it would be nice to have up all the time.

[Henry Blewer]

I hardly notice it. The only time I look at it is if I am adjusting the color offset.

iirc right click the node and choose from menu seems to be the only way now.
Reading the change log won't hurt either.

[mhaze]

Precisely one gets a preview window that won't stay open when you edit the node - extremely anoying!
